The European Parliament has reached agreement on the EU Energy Package, stating that all households across the EU must be equipped with smart meters by 2022. In addition, the Parliament has heard a first reading of the Energy Efficiency of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and voted to further speed up smart meter deployment by requiring that all new buildings and those undergoing renovation be equipped with smart meters. 

The decisions mean that smart metering will play a leading role in enabling the EU to meet its ambitious environmental and energy efficiency goals. The EU Energy Package states that 80 percent of households across the EU are to be fitted with smart meters by 2020, while the EPBD states that the Directive is transposed into national law as early as 2012.
